Luke 9:51

Many are waiting upon God in the place of prayer, and one day, God is going to answer.  On the day of His answering, the day of waiting has come to end, and the time for action has now come!  Play the man Christian soldier, God shall not fail thee!!  When God says GO, it’s no time to procrastinate, it’s time to act!

Proverbs 29:25

When you’re standing at the crossroads of life and you don’t know what to do.  Far from being at a place of loss, the child of God is afforded an opportunity to enquire of the Lord.  “If any man lacks wisdom (James says), let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him”.  Brothers and Sisters, in the presence of fear and uncertainty, will you enquire at the mouth of the Lord?  He has something to say about your circumstance if you would but seek Him, and when He speaks, be sure to obey, and He will lead you through!

Matthew 9:37-38

In November of last year, thousands of care workers up and down the UK were forced out of their jobs in a sector which as it stands is already facing a daunting shortage of more than 100,000 workers.  The care sector is not alone in this crisis.  The NHS is facing the same problem. According to the latest NHS figures, 85,000 of its staff have still not had a Covid vaccine and a further 40,000+ have only had the first of two required jabs.  All face immediate dismissal on 31st March on this year, from a sector which is also facing at present, a 100,000 staff shortfall.  But it’s not just healthcare.  Last month, the Education Secretary, called for ex-teachers to come out of retirement to help bridge the gap of staff illnesses in schools across the UK.  Staff shortages are spreading to almost every part of the economy, ranging from haulage to hospitality. 

While this world’s workforce is in short supply, the Kingdom of Heaven’s workforce is also in the same.  If God was to put out an advertisement, nailing it to every Church door across this land, do you want to know what it would say?  Two words; “SHORT STAFFED”. Underneath the headline caption, would be the reference Mt. 9:37-38.  “...The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest”.

Acts 2:41-47

We live in a world where we’re continually told that change is good.  Whether it be the political sphere or the workplace environment; education or the arts — to remain constant and the same is deemed to be a failure. I remember as a teacher, working in secondary education, it was frowned upon if you stayed too long teaching in the same school.  It was an unspoken rule that every five years or so you were supposed to move on by means of promotion — climbing the career ladder of success, jumping from one school to another. I thank God Brethren, that some things in life are constant and never changing.  I thank God that He is unchanging in His nature and that His Holy Word is also unchanging. 

In this sermon, we look at the four great unchanging pillars of the Church of Jesus Christ that ought to characterise its coming together in every generation – The Word of God, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayers.

Romans 6:1-14

What soldier is armed with an ornamental sword, to take to the field of battle?  Outwardly, it appears shiny behold, but when drawn from its sheath the soldier finds the blade is blunt!  So many Christians, arm themselves with the great positional statements of Holy Scripture, and yet when asked to see the evidence of such truths in the life of their experience, they are unable to furnish the proof.

This sermon is a challenge calling for the rubber of our theology to meet the road of our experience!
